Part 3 for a chatty lot!
3 is the magic number, good things come in 3s, so here is hoping we get plenty more BFPs.....

Lucy I have loads of opks and pregnancy tests just ic ones if you want to pm your address I can post you them? xx

CallingAllEngels · 31/12/2013 17:53

Congrats metal

sorry af got you lucy, but at least yo u can enjoy yourself properly this evening.

I know I said I was taking a break, but I can't seem to stay off the thread!

Have just had prawn cocktail followed by sushi and am now opening a lovely bottle of wine. Also have goats cheese, brie and blue cheese plus some lovely pink roast beef. Making the most of non-pg status for now!

all the best for 2014 ladies. Hoping that we all get a bfp in the coming year.

HungryHorace · 31/12/2013 18:13

Lucy, it's good that you finally know where you are, even if a BFP would've been better. :-)

Engels, enjoy the pregnancy contraband food. Hopefully come next month you won't be allowed it!

Happy new year to everyone. xx

ChineseFireball · 01/01/2014 01:00

Congratulations metalhead! Lovely new year news :-)
Good to see you, Engels. It's hard to stay away isn't it?!
Swede...I hope you are feeling ok Thanks
Well now that all the fireworks have stopped (grump grump) I'm hoping to be able to get some sleep. Really hot in bed though. And... AF gave a very poor effort so if she hasn't arrived properly by the morning I'm going to have to poas. Keep your fingers crossed for us, ladies x

HungryHorace · 01/01/2014 07:51

Ooh, Chinese, implantation bleeding?! Good luck!

I am so ill. Far worse than I was with DD. I thereabouts saw the new year in with my head down the loo. Marvellous!

I'll come back later to see the result of the POAS! :-)

ChineseFireball · 01/01/2014 10:34

That was what I thought, Horace. But BFN. Gah. Sorry you're feeling so rotten. MS is the absolute worst. I think it might be slightly easier if trimester 1 wasn't so massively exhausting. How far along are you now?

HungryHorace · 01/01/2014 12:17

Boo! Maybe try again in a couple of days if still no meaningful AF. I think it takes about 5 days from implantation to positive HPT. Good luck!

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. Can't get over how crap I feel. Trying to keep hydrated without tipping myself over the edge into pukesville again! This pregnancy lark is all glamour.

Metalhead · 01/01/2014 12:40

Morning all, and happy 2014! Hope it will bring us all lovely new babies!

Hi Lucy, sorry to hear AF got you, but at least you know where you stand now.

Boo to the BFN Chinese, but you're still in with a chance until AF shows up. Do you know how many dpo you are?

And sorry you're feeling so crap Hungry, MS is no fun. I had constant nausea with DD for about 6 weeks,though I never actually threw up. And I could swear I'm already starting to feel queasy now, although that's probably more likely to do with the amount of food I've eaten over the last week...

HungryHorace · 01/01/2014 12:56

My MS lasted 10 weeks last time, and I was sick multiple times almost every day. Never overnight like last night though. That was hideous!

It could be the food, Metalhead, hopefully it is!

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 01/01/2014 13:21

I'm with you hungry - I'm not actually being sick but I've barely been out of bed this week due to nausea. Ugh.

Hope everyone else had good new year's celebrations x

Kt1991 · 01/01/2014 14:00

Happy New Year to everyone! Congrats Metal! Nice start to the New Year!
Sorry to lucy especially being 8 days late, but good your feeling positive about things, and hope that this is your year!

Please stop me from SS! I have no idea how many DPO I am (I’m guessing about 6?) but I’ve had period like cramps all morning so far, Ive been feeling bit nauseous too and bloated, and I’m tired even though I had the longest sleep in ages last night! Hope I’m not just thinking I’ve got them! AF is due a week today though.

HungryHorace · 01/01/2014 14:53

Cramps? One of my symptoms, Kt!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. :-)

ChineseFireball · 01/01/2014 16:21

Huge sympathy to those with MS. It's rotten, it really is. Kt cramps are one of the symptoms I had last time...fx for you!
Unfortunately it seems I was a little premature with POAS. AF has arrived with a vengeance. Oh well. Better luck next month.
Have just been to ikea and got DS a few rolls of paper and a holder for the roll, and a stash of the wooden spice racks to put books in in his bedroom. Also got him a little tool kit with hammer, spanner and screwdriver things and fixings. He loves it Smile although he is currently sitting in the big blue bag singing "row row row the boat". Love him Smile

Kt1991 · 01/01/2014 17:33

Did you get the cramps a week before AF was due? I do remember getting cramps like this in my last pregnancy too, but don’t want to get my hopes up! Cause AF might make an earlier appearance, as my cycles are still a bit weird. Or failing that I could be ovulating later than I thought?
Sorry AF arrived chinese Sad Hope next month is your month,
Aren’t little ones just the cutest Smile Just love watching them at that age!

Congrats metal!! I am very pleased
To hear that news!
Swede glad you're feeling a little bit like u can start moving in right direction.
Kt - I had cramping for sure! Big sign.
Sorry you're feeling shitty hungry. Another girl?? I feel same as I did with ds. Very tired but not more than nauseous if I don't eat. Although ithink that is an excuse now - hve eaten soooo much!!
Happy new year

HungryHorace · 01/01/2014 21:00

I had cramping from about 2dpo, Kt. It's a good sign!

Toothpaste, I feel worse than I did with DD, but I do think another girl, yes. I'm more tired too.

Also, I'm struggling to eat despite feeling hungry. Didn't have that last time. Most odd!

Sherlock now...commencing radio silence!

mrsm22 · 02/01/2014 12:12

Hi to everyone and Happy New Year! Sorry I've been missing for a while, just been busy with DS and DH and enjoying time with DH before he goes back to work. Did everyone have a good Xmas and new year? My DS turned two on Saturday, 3 days after Xmas. We had a big party for him on Saturday with pirate birthday cake and it was really good. DS had a lovely time and Xmas was amazing with him this year! On Monday 30th me and DH went for a private gender scan as we simply couldn't wait for our 20 week scan, and we are having another little baby boy! I am thrilled to bits and it was amazing to see our little baby again, for the 3rd time. I'm 17 weeks tomorrow.
Hungry - I see you're 8 weeks so not far off your 12 week scan and sorry to see you're still suffering with morning sickness. I've never had that so can only imagine what it's like. I hope you're ok. Isn't your midwife app soon?
Sorry I've not had time to read all posts but hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to a special 2014.

HungryHorace · 02/01/2014 13:51

Yay, Mrs. How exciting that you're having a second boy. You'd thought that was the case though, hadn't you?

And it sounds like DS1 had an awesome birthday too. :-)

Have you got names or do you need to get your thinking cap on?

And yes, midwife is a week today, so not long to go. :-)

Feeling hideous today. Almost threw up while feeding DD. Not good! I fully expect it to last for months yet though. Joy.

donnas1984 · 02/01/2014 14:07

congrats mrs! what you like how far away is your 20 weeks scan!? mines is 20th so not long.
im in bed with the worst head cold ever my whole face feels like it might explode.
hope you feel better soon hungry in only had a slight touch ms and that was bad enough!

Kt1991 · 02/01/2014 21:05

Congrats mrs that will be lovely having another boy. Hope you had a nice cams and your DS had a lovely birthday. How did it go with your sister in the end?
donna are you going to find out what your having at your scan?

hungry sorry your still getting bad sickness. Your good with working out cycle dates aren't you I've got no idea what DPO I am? Really want to know to do a sly test lol. Had these cramps all day again today not feeling like period cramps much though now, can't really explain them :/

Kt1991 · 02/01/2014 21:06

That was meant to say Xmas to mrs!

HungryHorace · 02/01/2014 21:06

Give me some dates, Kt! :-)

Kt1991 · 02/01/2014 21:14

Cause I don't use the Opks I'm taking a rough guess that I was most fertile on Boxing Day, so a week ago today, but few different apps have said different so I'm not sure. My last AF was 3rd dec p, and on average my cycles now I'm am saying is 34 days

HungryHorace · 02/01/2014 21:18

It would be unusual to OV on CD23 with a 34 day cycle as your literal phase, while being fine, would be a little shorter than normal.

I'd have thought 22nd-24th Dec for your probable OV dates. What do your apps say?

I'd be testing tomorrow if I were you! :-)
